SONG LYRICS

As If It's Never Taken Place

Lyrics & music by Johan Christher Schütz

As if it's never taken placeAs if you've never said my nameAs if you've never went to sleepTo let my arms relieve your painAs if we didn't have a goalAnd strayed around inside a mazeNow we are filling up the holeAs if it's never taken place

As if the beauty was unrealAs if the damage wasn't majorAs if our love did not appealTo the very laws of natureLike the disruption of a dreamThat lights help quickly to eraseAnd you can go right back to sleepAs if it's never taken place

But nowOnly silence can followThe pictures we tookMade us spooky and hollowSo I guess you were rightI guess it was wrongYou can't reigniteWhat is burnt out and gone

As if it's never taken placeAs if it was an obscure B-sideAs if we never drank champagneThere on the Barcelona seasideBut there is nothing left to sayWith every memory erasedAnd now you're tying back your hairAs if it's never taken place
